Don't Leave Me A Message
Photo courtesy of iStockphoto, Gretchen CarrollVoicemail is a feature that seems to come with just about every VoIP solution out there. While it's been a staple on landlines as well, the one thing that VoIP companies bring to the table is sending voicemail over email. An audio file—MP3 or WAV depending on the service—is sent to your email.
Forget that. I'd rather not get a message in the first place, or at least have the message turned into some more useful form. YouMail is nice in that I can point my mobile phone's voicemail at this system. It will do the dirty work of transcribing the voicemail into text and send it—as an SMS—to my phone.
YouMail isn't perfect, but it does a passable job. There's no reason YouMail or a similar service couldn't be incorporated into a VoIP service provider offering. It'd be yet one more thing that would differentiate your service.
Meanwhile, if you do call me, don't leave a message. Email me, SMS me, or contact me some other way.
